Oh wow. Any chance you could elaborate? I was also down there with a friend. We sensed things getting bad and thankfully we left before the riot started. (End of the second period I think?) This wasn’t our first time downtown for a game (it was such a fun ride until that night) and so I remember being surprised to find no security checkpoints like there had been every other time. Are you saying that it wasn’t there because it had been overrun?

McDavid and the last quarter century
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Do you think that's how history will remember it though? Years from now when he's being inducted in to the hall do you think Dionne is who they're going to be comparing him to? Might not be fair but that's not my point. My point is that he'll be remembered for his scoring titles. -
McDavid and the last quarter century
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in General Hockey Discussion
I'd say the main difference is the Art Ross Trophy. After this season McDavid will have 5 of them. That means that only Gretz, Lemieux and Howe will have more. Howe and Lemieux have 6 of them so there's a good chance that Connor catches them fairly soon. -

Yeah some of the comments about him are pretty cringey lol. Crosby used to get a lot of hate as well. Some people are just determined to be contrarian. -
McDavid and the last quarter century
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Well, he's up to 60 goals now. Only a handful of players (four I think?) have managed to hit this mark since the 1995 lockout. Nobody else in the league has hit 50 yet lol. With 138 total points he is now well ahead of anything we've seen since Lemieux and Gretz dominated the game. Still ten games to go! Edmonton is hoping to gain home ice advantage in the playoffs so I doubt he'll be letting off the gas down the stretch. -

Yep! Agee with all of that. PP gives him too many opportunities with time and space. 5 v 5 you have to earn it a little more. Pretty wild to be including Petey in a conversation that includes Sakic, Crosby, Yzerman etc. He's a special player for sure. -
McDavid and the last quarter century
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Can I ask where you got that number from? It’s a good point but everywhere that I’ve seen has him at 60 points on the PP. (league leader) At even strength it looks like he’s also the league leader by a fair bit. Admittedly this stat seems to be as clear as mud depending on which website you’re looking at. -
(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller
Baratheon replied to combover's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He's 30 years old. Sooner or later we'll have to find a 2C to replace him. Even if we keep him. Hopefully it's later but father time is undefeated as they say -

He would need a huge 5 point game but it would be fun to see him hit 129 against the Laffs! And on HNIC as well! -

If you’re right handed and taller than 6’2 then you’re a lock for the HHOF -

[GDT] Around the NHL | March (05-11) 2023
Baratheon replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
The NHL only cares about the cap because it keeps their costs down. Their refusal to budge on a “hard” cap is evidence of this to me. Once the playoffs roll around they’re happy with the money they’re making. Sadly, I think it’s as simple as that. -
Winning the cup next year would be fine by me! Best of luck to us both lol. I think I might have better odds than you though.
-
Ah gotcha! No! "Non-Zero" is pretentious. It's his fault for speaking that way.
-
I'm not sure I follow you. Drance and Swedes deserve each other? You can have him if you want him! We'll happily ship him off the continent!

Drance is so annoying (he really is) that I think a lot of people don't comprehend what he's saying. Even saying something like "non-zero" lol. What a pretentious way to say it. People go in with their minds already made up. It's quite a funny dynamic to listen to. Drance gets derailed by people angrily texting in when they clearly have no clue what he's even talking about. In those situations both Drance and the listener deserve each other. Drance brings the rage upon himself but the listener could chill and try listening without an agenda. Funny! (to me at least)

Imagine an all time dream panel of Dave Pratt, Neil Macrae, Thomas Drance and Dan Russell. Just shredding everything right down to individual players facial hair. “This team is never going anywhere as long as they don’t have a handlebar moustache on the team!”

McDavid and the last quarter century
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Update: If the season were to end today, McDavid would have the 6th highest point total (tied with Jagr) of any Art Ross trophy winner in the last 25 years. 8 more points will give him sole possession of 1st place. This will be his 5th Art Ross Trophy. The most of any player during this timespan. (Jagr has 4 while Crosby, Malkin and St. Louis all have 2) -

Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Oh pardon me. Didn't mean to offend your delicate sensibilities. I think when someone does something that hasn't been done in more than 25 years it becomes news. I would think this is a relatively simple concept
